Auto Balance is a new automatic water testing & dosing machine from a company called Xepta. We’ve never heard of Xepta before but they have a full range of additives with a strong emphasis on achieving proper ratios of reef aquarium chemistry.

AutoBalance can automatically test for calcium, magnesium and alkalinity and it has three dosing channels to intelligently replenish these crucial elements for coral growth. Thankfully the Xepta AutoBalance works stand along, no additional costly equipment required, and it works both with bluetooth or wifi through either an iOS or Android app.

Very little other tangible details are available about Xepta’s AutoBalance dosing and testing machine, like price, availability or how it works. However we’ll definitely be investigating more about this device to determine if it can deliver on the promise of automatically managing reef aquarium chemistry in a reasonably effective, affordable and reliable package.
